I’m not sure this is appropriate for here definitely not a pleasure.My son-in-law and partner are splitting up .He has apparently been playing away for a few months ,my poor DGs are in the middle,he is wanting to buy a holiday caravan with her and was expecting DGD And S to go with him ,5 months before their A levels and GCSE .He has now agreed that they will stay with his partner until fierce the exams .I don’t think he will be able to ,All devastated,I haven’t slept for 2 nights now .

Oh Sue
going through exactly the same thing in my family although children are younger and no infidelity. It's heartbreaking for all concerned but especially the children. There are days I could weep. And do.
All this on top of all you already have. Always sorry to hear your husband is taking a turn.
Am sure no-one minds you letting us know. In fact this is a place of support for you because we all care. I wish there was a way I could help. In the meantime you are in my thoughts.
Love
Bala

sue you don’t have to be here to know that there is a virtual wall of support for you to mentally just lean back and rest. I’ve just seen a quote that my lovely husband often said ‘It is what it is’. And indeed it is. There’s nothing we can do to change some things no matter how much we’d like them to be different but go forward with the knowledge that we are all behind you every step of your way with your husband.Your grandchildren will know that you are there for them.Take care xxx16

That was what DH always said when he had a voice .
The carers have been and for the first time he indicated that he didn’t want to be got up ,so has been washed and left in bed
he’s been so upset by our son in law ,suspect he doesn’t want to know what happens15 -
Oh S Sue 😥
It is so much for you to bear. I hope the children can stay where they are for now. No-one needs any more disruption this year.
And so sorry about DH .
Please try to look after yourself. And talk to someone, even if It's only virtual someones, like us ❤

Good good morning Lovelies,
DfV: My attempts at being frugal this month have been ruined by bulk buying toothpaste, DH favourite shower gel, hair dye, and mouthwash 🙄 .......not forgetting the 144 loo rolls. Hopefully we will not have to buy toiletries for years 🤣.......Ian Hislop fan here too. Enjoyed Fake News.
Yesterday
1. Collected a chair from eBay seller. It is an Eames style rocking chair. I have always wanted a rocking chair. 🙂
2. Completely unmotivated to do anything, so didn't.......all day.3. Took both doggies for a walk in the park. Girlies first walk since breaking her shoulder before Christmas........no limping. I managed a full circuit before getting breathless. I hope we are both on the mend. 🙂
4. A glass of wine with dinner.
5. Video of baby's first words.......'bubbles'.........so cute. 😍
Have a lovely day 🙂In a world where you can be anything, be kind. (Caroline Flack)

Suffolksue thinking of you - there a so much love and support for you here.
1. Walk to post box and saying hello to a few people who were walking.
2. Spoke with my parents on the phone.
3. Had a chat with my neighbour - we had a laugh about various things. It's good to have a laugh.
4. Text messages with both sons. One says he isn't talking to me! He got excited when I sent a text that I was looking at a puppy today. He wasn't happy when He found out it was for my sister.
5. I have some daffodils too.15 -
Good news on your inheritance Frith.
So sorry to hear your upsetting family news SSue, no need to post here just please know that you always have our support.
For yesterday,
Texts and messages of love & support from family members, worth their weight in gold.
Changed the bed, did a general tidy upstairs and then lost all enthusiasm to do anything else so settled down with my book, The Monagram Murders by S Hannah which is the first of her reimagined Poirot novels. It’s entertaining enough is the best I can say.
I did get over to see my girlie, bit of work in the school but she was edgy and anxious to get back into her stable so just 20 minutes done. She is very different to my old boy whose moods were very consistent and I’ve learnt to choose my battles.
An article on village FB group made me do further online research and I disappeared down the rabbit hole of the British History Online, details of land ownership etc actually goes back to the Norman invasion, fascinating.

Tigers!
Tiger Moth at the Shuttleworth Collection!balabooberlies said:I must be taking it REALLY seriously !
DfV delivers her lot again!
Jenny sends her buzzesDo I has too?
Has the stake nite last evening as suggested in your version of BoP notes! Then we has the Mazza of choice by BoP, some itch! The Seven Year Itch! Wobbleades and cheeses were consumed! Still has a three voucher for BoPsie so she can get her Burt inn! Minds you, the flix last nite did has a jibe at the Burt film that she has in her collection!
Was the the Docks last day and I has a new toy to sort out on Monday, until then, it is inn its box! Details of curse soon!
Had the usual BoP brakefest this day! Best back, snorker, mushrooms, poached egg on toast. Yous may notice that BoP has no toms these days, so no spagyetti or has beens! Tea was mugged and drinked!
Kitty is so skitty inn the mornings I thinks she's playing about! Tuck her four her walks, she nips along to her lawn, that at the time is too sodden and she runs off to the green two fast four her BoP these days! Left her on her green and she comes home later!
Rite not much again as I pile on the wait during the knock down!
Keep SafeYou're the only person that you can become!
